Abstract
Most odontogenic tumors are intraosseous growths. A peripheral odontogenic fibroma presents as a slow-growing and firm swelling on the gingiva. It develops more commonly on the mandibular than the maxillary region. It can be found on either the palatal or lingual and on the labial or buccal surface of the jaw. It usually does not ulcerate. The most common type is a peripheral odontogenic fibroma, which is a benign odontogenic neoplasm of the periodontal soft tissues. In this case report, a 53-year-old male patient with peripheral odontogenic fibroma was treated using a laser.
